We are just about ready!

Final preparations are in full swing for this coming weekend's Killington Wine Festival. This year marks the 9th year the wine festival has taken place on the third weekend in July.

Wine suppliers from around the world will be descending on Killington later this week to prepare to taste their wines with guests at the event. Chefs all around Killington are busy getting their prep work in order for Wine Dinners scheduled at restaurants during the festival. At the Birch Ridge Inn, Chef Frizzie is hard at work getting all the last minute details covered for our wine dinner on Saturday evening.

This past weekend, Mary and I had some scheduled down time, knowing that we would both be very busy this week leading into the Wine Festival. My parents, who live on Cape Cod, drove up to Killington with their friends for 4 days. I actually had the chance to sit down and sample Mary's breakfasts and Chef Frizzie's dinners each day with my folks. It was a nice change of pace.

We hope you can make it to the Wine Festival next weekend. Where ever you may find yourself, keep it in the fairway and don't forget the sunscreen.
